Last month, Vince Staples released "BagBak," the stellar lead single from his upcoming sophomore LP, but didn't provide any additional details about the project. Today we've received just a tad more information, as VICE (via 2 Dope Boyz) confirms that the album's title will be Big Fish Theory. There's still no word yet on when its out, but fans who purchased the VIP package for Staples' current "The Life Aquatic Tour" will receive the album as soon as it's released. Staples has been playing the Wes Anderson film from which his tour is named in reverse prior to going on stage each night, so maybe this album by the noted movie fan was inspired by Tim Burton's Big Fish. Revisit "BagBak" below.
